We're sorry that you didn't have a completely satisfying visit. Would it be possible to have someone from our management team reach out to you directly to discuss? We'd love the opportunity to address any issues with our team here. Thank you for your time, and hopefully, we can get to the bottom of this.

The selling experience was good, but when you purchase a $30,000 dollar vehicle the least the dealership can do is top the fluids and fill up the gas tank. There’s not much you can do to improve my satisfaction. It puts a bad taste in your mouth when on the drive home I notice the gas tank is only 35% full and the windshield washer fluid light comes on, took an entire bottle. Now I have to worry about what other things weren’t done or topped off, I understand the vehicle sat there for 100 days, but I waited another 45 mins to have the car detailed, would have thought they would’ve checked the fluids and gas. First time in my life those weren’t full after purchasing a vehicle, and the typically buy every 2-3 years.
